Small Crusted Cut on Penis/Ejaculate Exposure

[brianb4200]

Hello...
I have a small legion (not associated with herpes but rather a tear from from masterbation (masturbation)) on the upper base of my penis just below the frenulum. I mutually masterbated with a guy and most definetly touched his ejaculate. Though I cannot remember if I used the same hand to touch my own penis. I am worried about the risk of HIV transmission. The cut was a bit crusted over and did not have any running blood. Upon further examination of the legion I believe that there was one layer of skin on the cut but lacking the second protective layer. Am I at a horrible risk for possible infection?

I don't want to sound like a hysterical gay man, but I live in NYC and people are infected with all sorts of crazy things; I would hate to ruin my life in my early 20's.

Thanks-a-Million,
Brian

No, this isn't a risk.  Cuts and abrasions start healing IMMEDIATELY, and there are several layers of skin which provide a barrier against infection.  Not to mention, the HIV virus is weak and cannot cause transmission outisde of the body...cuts or no cuts.  

Modes of transmission are---unprotected anal or vaginal sex, sharing IV needles, and from mother to infant.

No worries.

At no time were ever at risk.

Thank you! This has eased my anxiety. I will most certainly get tested just to get my self on a routine but I will go into it fully assured that that encounter was safe.

Thanks again,
Brian
